Connection refused in cluster configuration

I am using elasticsearch and have outgrown one server.
Therefore, I would like to create a cluster configuration of two elasticsearch servers with the following manual.

I have deployed elasticsearch on two servers, but I get connection refused.
I do not know the cause of this problem. Please give me some advice.

  • elasticsearch.yml

    [root@ELSTEST-01 ~]# vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
    ... snip ...
    cluster.name: mycluster
    node.name: elasticserver1
    network.host: XXX.XXX.XXX.001
    discovery.seed_hosts:
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.001"
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.002"
    cluster.initial_master_nodes:
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.001"
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.002"
    ... snip ...
    
    [root@ELSTEST-02 ~]# vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
    ... snip ...
    cluster.name: mycluster
    node.name: elasticserver2
    network.host: XXX.XXX.XXX.002
    discovery.seed_hosts:
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.001"
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.002"
    cluster.initial_master_nodes:
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.001"
      - "XXX.XXX.XXX.002"
    ... snip ...
    
  • mycluster.log (<- connection refused)

    [root@ELSTEST-02 sysconfig]# tail -n 20 /var/log/elasticsearch/mycluster.log

Please comment if you need any other information.

I found the following article, which I hope will be of interest to you

Perhaps it is because node.name and cluster.initial_master_nodes do not match exactly?

However, I lined up the cluster.initial_master_nodes with what I specified in node.name, but it didn't work.

If I don't specify node.name, the server name is set by default.
I removed the node.name.

What was also very difficult was the need to remove the old node information.
I am sure the following article will help you with that.

If you keep getting an error after starting Elasticsearch, deleting /var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes and restarting it seems to work.

I was able to configure my cluster with this response, but if you have any advice, please comment.
